Technical Abstract

Disclosed is an image processing method including adjusting a light exposure time of an image acquisition unit by using a target image converted to be output in a desired output mode among a plurality of output modes; and displaying target images acquired according to the adjustment.

Patent Claims
10 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.

Claim 2

Original Legal Text

2. The image processing method according to claim 1, further comprising outputting the top-view stitched and converted target image with adjusted brightness.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 3

Original Legal Text

3. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein brightness of the top-view stitched and converted target image is adjusted through adjustment of brightness of the images acquired by the at least two camera devices for configuring the top-view stitched and converted target image.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 6

Original Legal Text

6. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein the first target image in the first mode is an image converted or stitched based on the images acquired by the at least two camera devices.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 7

Original Legal Text

7. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the first target image in the first mode overlaps a portion of the top-view stitched and converted target image in the top-view mode.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 8

Original Legal Text

8. The image processing method according to claim 1, wherein different images composed of an image acquired by any one of the at least two camera devices or at least one image acquired by each of the at least two camera devices are output in the first mode and the top-view mode.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 10

Original Legal Text

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which an application program is recorded, the application program realizing the image processing method of claim 1 supporting the multiple modes through execution of a processor.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 12

Original Legal Text

12. The image conversion and stitching device according to claim 11, wherein the lookup table is updated based on the exposure times.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 13

Original Legal Text

13. The image conversion and stitching device according to claim 11, wherein the processing system is further configured to control the image conversion and stitching device further to receive at least one image datum acquired from the at least two camera devices.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 14

Original Legal Text

14. The image conversion and stitching device according to claim 13, wherein the processing system is further configured to control the image conversion and stitching device further to perform color interpolation and first image processing with respect to a Bayer pattern to output an image, when the at least one image datum is received in the Bayer pattern.

Plain English translation pending...
Claim 16

Original Legal Text

16. The image processing unit according to claim 15, further comprising an image processor configured to selectively perform an operation such as color interpolation or demosaicing, color correction, gamma correction, color space conversion, and edge enhancement with respect to a Bayer pattern transmitted from at least one camera device among the at least two camera devices to output the at least one image.
